I agree with this. From Otto in another thread:
"It is sad to see that in Debian usage of git is stifled by simple
things like people not agreeing to use a common branch naming scheme
despite there being a proposal for 10+ years now."
I use git extensively for all Debian packaging work, but I find it hard
to bring myself to care about whether the default branch name is
consistent in every package I touch (it isn't, and I haven't been able
to observe any way in which it meaningfully affects either me or others,
so I'm not going to put energy into it when I could do something else
instead). To be told that this means I'm helping to stifle the use of
git in Debian is frankly infuriating and insulting.
